Ubuntu Vs. Linux Mint - Which Is Better in 2016?

It is written in the holy scriptures let each will be rewarded according to merit his.

Mint Cinnamon works better for me personally, but I can see the merits of more timely updates with Ubuntu as well. If I were to leave Mint, I would likely go to Ubuntu MATE or Xubuntu.

Yes, I agree with seatex. I use Mint Cinnamon and I have no problems with it. And no extra issues to cover except for commenting out the Mint Adjustments fold contents.

They are both perfectly fine. The Ubuntu software manager still doesn't show everything I'd like it to, such as Steam. I am perfectly happy using apt but new users won't be. Mint just feels more complete for a new user

Steam is a controversial piece of software to include in a repo.

I'll admit to approving of Steam as an application on GNU/Linux. My approval is loosely based on the idea that GNU/Linux should be the OS of choice for everyone, including people who wish to run proprietary applications on top of the best OS the world has ever written.

agreed, better just a few non-free applications on an otherwise free OS, than a non-free OS with the odd Free Software application here and there.
